Those who don\u2019t own a home in California or only visit during the summer months often think seashores, beaches, and suntan lotion are all part of the scene everywhere here. While that might be a fairly accurate picture of Southern Cal at its best, it\u2019s only half the story. Winters in northern California are \u2026 different<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And that is why, if you\u2019re a homeowner in this more rugged part of the state, you have to think about winterproofing your home before the cold weather sets in and does damage that may cause a home insurance<\/a> claim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In many parts of the nation, it\u2019s the horror of a broken furnace and burst water pipes that keep homeowners awake at night. While residents of the northern chunk of California don\u2019t expect their winters to be all that traumatizing, the temperatures do drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Average winter Fahrenheit readings in the north are usually between lows in the thirties and highs in the fifties, but in some pockets of land here, particularly in and around the mountains, the temps can drop to well below freezing. While cold rain is more common, snow is hardly unheard of in Northern California. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt Isn\u2019t Minnesota, but You Still Need to Winterize Your Northern California Home <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
